It seems the same things keep being posted multiple times, usually by bots. I have blocked bots, but they still show. It’s gotten to the point I’ve had to start blocking them, and users the post the same things that have already been posted here multiple times.
Get rid of them I say.
I have bots blocked and they still show up in comments. I think it only blocks bots from main posts.
I don’t personally mind this particular bot, but most of them are annoying so I block them all.
The AC-130 is my favorite plane.
Your definition of emergency communication is way off. Sure you can use some app for training for that situation, however it’s the least reliable way to get communications out in an actual emergency where others are actually going to hear and respond to it.
The best communications in an emergency, are those that are the most widely used. Which would be voice first, CW second. Having to carry around a phone, to use some app that someone else has to be actively listening to using another phone that is held up to a handheld, is not how I would want to be doing things in an actual emergency.
I also wouldn’t rely on vara during an actual emergency. Sure a it’s fun to play like using vara or a ht held up to a phone is going to help in any way during an emergency, but if you are relying on them, you are doing it wrong. I certainly wouldn’t want my life to depend on them.
seems awesome for recreational and emergency communication
In an emergency, using voice or CW will be heard by a lot more people, and understood by them a lot easier, more reliably, and better than having to have an app on both ends.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool tech (after I figured out what it actually is), but it should not be presented as useful in an emergency. In an actual emergency, the last thing that should be done is flaffing around with an app on the phone, and making sure someone on the other end happens to have the app installed as well.
The point is you shouldn’t have to “just use a proxy”, it’s an unnecessary block because people happen to live in the “wrong” countries.
Unfortunately, Claude.ai is only available in the US and UK. We’re working hard to expand to other regions soon.

My lemmy instance is hosted on a 1GB vps with no problem. Even with a few other services on the same VPS.
No, but some people are stuck behind CG-NAT and can’t port forward to the outside world for wireguard. Things like Cloudflared, Tailscale and ZeroTier get past that.
It’s of course possible to use wireguard to a VPS and tunnel into that, but that’s a bit more technical to set up.
If it works for you and allows you to start learning, there’s no problem with it. Too many people seem to think that if you haven’t compiled whatever yourself, it’s not true “self hosting” but you should do what works best for you to get to the goal you want.
Thank you very much! I’ll get this set up on mine.
Thank you for that.
I did find one glaring issue on kbin that will keep me from using it in the future.
I had apparently opened an account whoknowswhen, and figured I’d remove it and start again. When I went to delete the account, it didn’t actually delete it, instead it keeps me logged in and just put this at the top >Your request to delete the account has been submitted.
That seems like a bit of an issue, as I shouldn’t have to wait for it to be submitted (which also appears to mean approved) before deleting an account. Until that’s fixed, I’ll stick with lemmy and mastodon separately.
I tried kbin and don’t really understand it to be honest. I looked at their documentation and it doesn’t really explain much other than how to create an account on an instance.
Going to kbin.social and creating an account didn’t get me much farther. I don’t undrestand how to “subscribe” to (for example) the lemmy communities I follow her, or the users I follow on mastodon. And the “magazines” thing I really don’t get.
Maybe I’m too dumb for it or something.
Sorry if it’s obvious, but I don’t see a way to use Matrix for notifications on their documentation and my searching is coming up blank. Do you by chance have a tutorial for this?
I have a couple, including the one running my lemmy instance I’m posting this from. They’ve all been pretty good for me. I don’t push any of them hard or anything, but I’ve not had any problems.
